Almaty, February 3 (Xinhua) — Kazakhstan's national oil operator KazTransOil will increase the cost of transporting Russian oil through its main pipeline system for transit through Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan, effective March 1. The company's press service announced this on Monday.

The cost of transportation will increase by USD 0.12 (0.4 percent) and will amount to USD 28.02 per ton excluding value added tax.

The pumping of Russian oil to Uzbekistan via the KazTransOil main oil pipeline system began in 2017 along the Omsk-Pavlodar-Shymkent route to the Shagyr oil loading terminal in Kazakhstan, where the oil is loaded into railway tank cars and then transported by rail to Uzbekistan.

KazTransOil resumed transit of Russian oil to Uzbekistan last December. From January to September 2025, Russia delivered 7.5 million tons of oil to Uzbekistan via Kazakhstan.
